Synopsis "Planta Sapiens: The new Science of Plant Intelligence "

Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways.A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how wecan use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Paco Calvo es un filósofo y científico cognitivo español reconocido por sus investigaciones sobre la inteligencia vegetal y la cognición en las plantas. Es profesor en la Universidad de Murcia y fundador del Minimal Intelligence Lab, un laboratorio dedicado al estudio de los comportamientos inteligentes en organismos sin cerebro.

Su trabajo explora cómo las plantas perciben su entorno, procesan información y responden de manera adaptativa a diferentes estímulos. Calvo ha contribuido a popularizar el campo de la cognición vegetal, argumentando que algunas capacidades tradicionalmente asociadas a los animales pueden observarse también en las plantas.

Es coautor del libro Planta Sapiens, una obra de divulgación científica que analiza las sorprendentes capacidades de las plantas y plantea nuevas formas de comprender la inteligencia en la naturaleza. Sus investigaciones han sido difundidas internacionalmente a través de publicaciones académicas, conferencias y medios de comunicación especializados.
